Hi there. Great tutorials, however I am having issue downloading my program (same as the one in the video) onto the emulator. I repeatedly get message "Download Failed! Program is incompatible with the processor!" Any suggestions? I thought Emulate500 is compatible with programs for MicroLogix 1100.
Hello PLCgurus.net, I’ve got one more year of college before I get my industrial controlling degree. I want to keep my plc skills fresh for next year so I’m prepared for what every they throw at me, so I downloaded the software in this video and followed all your steps. I’ve been trying to run a little test program, i debugged it and made sure everything is correct. All the of the steps worked but right before the program runs a notice pops up telling me it cant find the file I’m trying to run. And solutions?
I'm using Windows 10. I have everything installed but when I try to RSLogix Emulate 500 it says: "Failed to update the System Registry. Please check registry security rights or try using REGEDIT." How do I fix this issue??
The issue is likely Windows 10 compatibility. The RS500 Emulator is now what I would consider legacy. Its not designed to run on Windows 10. Perhaps there is a registry hack out there, but I personally I have not tested it. Reverting to Windows 7 in a VM may be a good option.
Hi Shaine. You could use a Virtual Machine running Windows 7...something like Virtualbox which is free and pretty good would work. Of course you'll need a Windows 7 image.

Hi. Make sure the software versions major revision matches the processor revision

@@PLCGurusNET Oh OK. What do you mean by reverting back to Windows 7 using a "VM"?

@@PLCGurusNET Yikes! That's over my head. What do you mean by windows 7 image? I guess I could Google "virtual machine"?!
